Chapter 5 — Thermal Transfer Printing
Ribbon Load
The EasyCoder PX6i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock using either direct thermal printing on special heat-sensitive media
or thermal transfer printing using a special ink-coated ribbon.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of receiv-
ing face materials and gives a durable printout less vulnerable to fat,
chemicals, heat, sunlight etc. than direct thermal printing. Make sure to
select a type of ribbon that matches the type of receiving face material
and to set up the printer accordingly.
The EasyCoder PX6i can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the ink-
coated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in this manual
show the ink-coated side facing inward.
Even if ribbon usually is loaded in connection with media replenishment,
no loaded media are shown in the illustrations in this chapter in order to
give a clearer view of the ribbon path. Refer to Chapter 4 for media load
instructions.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
